RIAA Prepares New Round of Lawsuits

In a change of tactics, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has contacted 204 alleged file swappers by letter in an effort to negotiate settlements prior to filing lawsuits.

See also this EFF press release which comments on the RIAA “litigation crusade” and provides a link to an EFF video which addresses the file swapping copyright controversy.

“The 204 persons targeted by the recording industry are being accused of distributing an average of 1,000 copyrighted music files each, according to the RIAA. Copyright law allows the industry to collect $750 to $150,000 for each song file distributed.”

BeSpacific: “No one better has her finger on the pulse of the legal information world than Sabrina Pacifici, law librarian and author of the blog BeSpacific,” writes blogger Robert Ambrogi. “Launched in 2002, BeSpacific is one of the longest-running legal blogs and, remarkably, Sabrina seems more prolific today than ever. She posts multiple items every day, covering the gamut of law, technology and knowledge discovery and topics ranging from cybersecurity to legal research to government regulation to civil liberties to IP and more. For me, BeSpacific is one of my daily must-reads and has been for 14 years straight.”
